This type had a rollfilm back that could be swung out of the focal plane to give place for a ground glass. Blair offered the No. 3 Combination Hawk-Eye. Manhattan Optical sold its Wizard Duplex. And Kodak its No. 4 Screen Focus Kodak. The rollfilm back could be removed completely so that the camera served as 4×5" plate camera.

It used type No. 123 roll film for 4×5" exposures. It was a very expensive camera, The concurrent model of Blair did cost just one third. However, ca. 4000 No. 4 Screen Focus were made.
